Master Page and table layout

Hi, i am in the process to learn create master page using HTML table layout.I find out many resources online that use table to design their master page layout.I have 1 thing that i do not undestand:all of them using heigh= n pixel to control their footer, header, content and navigation menu.My concern is that by doing so, the master page is fixed to only particular resolution only.In future there might be higher resolution available, the master page design need to be changed from time to time which is considered not so good programmer.OR in future, the when site need to have something like "Best view in resolution 1024 x 768", somethign like that...Is there any other way not to do so? Are they doing their master page correctly?

Hello All,
I am developing a publishing portal in MOSS 2007 environment. I am employing wspbuilder to deploy my master pages, page layouts and site contents in the publishing site. I would like to know whether referencing a ghosted master page(residing in the 12 hive)
in an unghosted page layout(residing in the content database) would be efficient.
I read in some articles that fetching the pages from file system increases the throughput when compared to that of hitting the content database. Is it advisory to do it this way? Any insights on this would be of great useRegards, Raghuraman.V CALAMITY IS THE TOUCHSTONE OF A BRAVE MIND

I exported one of the subsite using stsadm and imported into a new site collection, I could access the new site collection but whenever I try to create a new page in my new site collection I get the following error.

There are no page layout files available in the master page library of the top-level site. Add one or more page layouts to this library before you create a page or set page properties.ÃÂ Please help. Thanks.

Im developing an admin section for a cms tool and in previous tools i used a master page, which then had a page called verified.aspx. this contained a menu control and then dependant on which menu item they selected loaded a user control into a multiview control

This works fine accept for some small annoying post back issues (not refreshing data and also the time taken to load the large amount of controls)

For this solution i was looking to make it as quick and light weight as possible

I have a master page with 2 content placeholders. Im my verified page (which uses the master), i have a nav menu on the left. Dependant on the item selected fro the nav menu on the left, id like to poplute the content placeholders content with an aspx page (which contains a user control) or just an apsx page

ive seen a couple of articles suggesting iframe, and a couple suggesting nested master pages but i dont believe i can get this to work with nester masters, if somone has some code and an exmaple of how to achieve this i would be very grateful

I would like to present users with unique content based on certain conditions being met as they land on the home page (default.aspx). The condition logic will be in the VB code behind Page Load event. The content will go in a content placeholder as specificed from the master page.

However, the content change wouldn't be something small (ie making a panel or label visible or not) but rather it will be different HTML, Divs and databound gridview content. The HTML content will be stored in the database.

Can someone point me in the right direction for best practices on how to accomplish this?

I usually work with windows forms, and am just starting to work with ASP.Net, so appologies if this is a dumb question!

I have a master page which has a search button on it. The results of this are built up using a Linq statement and if there are any results, I want to display the results in a contents page.

On the masterpage, I have the following code:

Private _res
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SearchRes()
Get
Return _res
End Get
End Property
Private Sub DoSearch()
'some code to get a linq result
'then
If res.Any Then
_res = res
Server.Transfer("SearchResults.aspx", True)
Else
'no results
LabelNoRes.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

I have an HTML <div> container that I float to the right of a gridview. When the browser window is maximized, it looks fine. When minimized, the gridview positions below the floating container and most of the data is pushed off the bottom of the browser - you have to scroll down to see it.

If I position the floating container above the gridview it looks fine in a minimized window, but looks real bad when maximized.

What I want to do is use a javascript: onresize event to re-position the floating container up or down depending on the window.inner.width AND do it with a Master/Content page structure AND do it for only the one page where needed.

I can capture the onresize event and display the window dimensions but haven't figured-out how to do it with a Content page that still uses the Master page. I think I'm having a very "thick" week...

Master pages in ASP.NET 2.0 solve a problem many Web developers have been solving on their own with a variety of techniques for years - providing a single master template for an entire site. This article covers the details of master pages, discussing their usage and implementation and how they are a natural evolution of custom techniques developers are using today.

In essence, I am creating Dynamic Checkboxlist controls and adding them to a Panel. It works well when I do not have a Master Page configure to this webpage. Once I have a masterpage congifured.. I get a "Object Reference not set to instance of object" error on the Panel_Control.Controls.Add(Checkboxlistnew) line:

On a few different pages in my web app I have a scrollable panel that contains a gridview. When there is nothing in the panel display as I want it to, however when the grid view is populated with data it stretches the panel across the page which looks awful, it means the panel is partially stretched across the window but is still scrollable
